- No. So we aren't guilty of taking important events within a country and to a country as of little importance except in how we contextualize them through our own American lens. You know, the stuff of foreign policy hawks always interested in meddling in other nations.
- grandalf 13y agoMuch of it is just not news. Obviously 3rd world countries are going to have weaker institutions and certain kinds of social problems that first world nations won't have. Thus there is an endless stream of possible "appalling" stories but many more deeply interesting, geopolitically relevant, culturally relevant stories that never get written. Some are just not sensational/sexy enough, but the larger problem is that our media actively drives the narrative of American exceptionalism mostly through the world news section.
